Bought mine 3 weeks ago. despite me having far cry 4 and assassins creed unity for my PS4, my wii u is getting more game time. Super Mario world and NintendoLand are giving me more fun than anything else for the last few years. There is no denying that when it comes to quality gaming experiences, Nintendo beats everything.

I've ordered one from Amazon with Nintendo land, party u, mario kart and 3d world for £199.99. In also getting Far Cry 4, Evil Within, GTA V, Shadow of Mordor and Smash Bros for Xmas. I know what I'll be doing over Xmas...visiting family and wishing I was at home.

Take it with you. That is what I'm doing. 8 controllers and a mariokart and smash tournament! With some 4 player mario 2d and 3d! Then some online wii sports for the adults. We will have two systems going in the basement game room and living room!

Got mine two years ago; but with the bundles that have been popping up - I really wished I waited. I had to survive on only Nintendo Land for about 5 months! I would've gotten 2 games if I waited; but alas, what's done is done.

In the end, now IS the time to purchase a Wii U. Nintendo's first-and-second party exclusives are the pinnacle of quality; the reviews speak for themselves.

Xenoblade comes out in Spring 2015 for Japan, so given how Nintendo is only targeting 2015 for an overseas release means their likely aiming to get the game localized by the holiday season (Monolith Soft did confirm that the localization effort is going to be huge, and an even bigger undertaking than Xenoblade 1, so its going to take longer to localize than most of Nintendo's non-story driven titles), maybe as early as October. Zelda will likely be out by November.By the way, Nintendo confirmed the game would be in playable form in June 2015 during E3.

It's hard to say if we'll see a new Metroid title. Retro Studios may likely be working on it, but it typically does not reveal its next project until it is much closer to being completed. According to what Retro said, it started development a few months ago on a new project back in late 2014. For what it's worth, back at E3 2014 in June, Nintendo did say that Metroid is a series (both 2D and 3D) that very much still has a good future and they'd like to discuss something about it at a later time. I suppose it is possible that we could see another situation of Nintendo releasing a new 2D and a new Prime title in the same year again.

thanks for the long answer friend, I can tell that you are a real fan of Monolith Soft. Just like I am, I am worried because we are talking about the next best game of a generation just like Xenoblade was the best of the last gen. I want to play the next X so badly and I swear thet I will buy a wii U just for that all the other games are just a filler for me.

Your eyes will bleed because you won't be able to sleep. Mastering mariokart in hd is a real treat. Racing old tracks and watching your moves come back is a treat also. Bayo2 story is better also. Pikman has great online. W101 is classic. I started my game binge a few days ago. Two wiius and you have a home arcade. A sight to behold.

Nintendo needs to do something to light a fire under the European markets. I understand that they like western made 3rd party titles, but they tend to be more trendy gamers or whatever is marketed to them the most. I am still shocked and appalled by how well Aliens Colonial Marines continued to sell over there for the longest.
